-Console looks ugly. Why did they choose to make it long instead of wide? t's just weird....
-Why the power brick? Is there a technical reason for this? Does the power supply not fit inside the console? Why is PS3 the only console to not have a power brick?
-Wii U Pro controller looks nice. Wonder if its actually usable. The button placements seem like an odd choice.
-Wii U gamepad disapoints. Needs its own power chord to charge. No charging via USB, only 3-5hour battery life despite the console being the one doing all the work.....
-Launch line-up is nice but not anything that convinces me to jump ship since the best of the line-up is available on PS3/360 as well... |
Since the gamepad comes with its custom charger how is this a negative? Also they put the power supply in the bricks to keep console size down.

It's a negative since its the only way to charge it. USB charing through the console is not supported. If battery life was longer it wouldn't be that big of a problem.
This means you CAN NOT use the Wii U gamepad while charging it unless you have an outlet very close. I'd imagine the Wii U charger is pretty short.
The gamepad battery life is extremely disappointing. There are tablets such as the iPad that manage much better battery life all while doing its own processing/computing.

I don't know how your house is put together, but I have a couple of outlets right next to the couch. I don't have any USB ports on my walls though.
